Hi Kirk,

What the others are pointing you to are just plain caps that would be
suitable for the end of the antenna elements, not the trap caps that I
think you are looking for.

I think I have a full set of them here. A couple of years ago I
ordered them from Hy gain. (not cheap!)

In disassembling the elements to replace the caps I found that all the
inside insulators in the traps were rotten too. The antenna was shot.
The cost of the new plastic inside insulators was horrendous. I stuck
the whole thing in the garage. Never did install the new caps. They
are in a box somewhere in the garage. Incidentally the antenna had
been stored inside for about 20 years, where all the plastic just
rotted.

Let me know if you are interested in them. Email me at
.

Does anyone have a sugestion for an alternative or a quick fix for
replacements.
I know, I can order them through Hy-Gain. I do have some time issues.

Thanks,
